Abstract

A two-component poroelastic composite material is considered. This material consists of a homogeneous transversely isotropic poroelastic matrix and aligned spheroidal inclusions filled with material having different poroelastic properties. The effective poroelastic characteristics are obtained by the effective field method. All the formulas are presented in explicit ready-to-use form.
